Chaos a Hundred Times Another Way to Look at the Relationships
between Severus, Lily, MWPP, and Dumbledore

If you give chaos, your dog will give you chaos a hundred times.”
Dog Whisperer: “Peanut, Sunshine, Roxy, and Angus”
Cesar Millan (Italics in the original)Author’s Note: This article was inspired in part by the discussions on Snapedom about Snape and prejudice (Sailorlum’s original article on 2/19/10, and 00sevvie’s reply on 3/15/10). My thinking about Remus and Sirius as canids rather than people is partly an extrapolation of Mary_j_59’s essay on Snapedom that Black’s behavior towards certain characters makes more sense if we think of him as a dog relating to his pack rather than a person relating to other people.

Except for minor revisions, this article was finished in June 2010, but I didn’t get around to posting it until now. Any similarities between the ideas presented herein and posts made by other people on this forum or DTCL since June 2010 are just evidence of “great minds thinking alike.”
The numbers in brackets are references to footnotes at the end of the article. There is also a link to episodes of
Dog Whisperer online.
Special note to trolls: I couldn’t care less what you think of me or anything I say. Don’t waste your time commenting on this essay because I won’t reply. Snape fans don’t invade your forums; do us the courtesy of not invading ours.
